Something else you didn't hear about....

I didn't hear of this one either.  I wonder why?  Is this not as important as the Trayvon Martin murder?

I wonder how come no one reports white on white crime the way they report black on black crime? Because by reporting black on black crime without adding the other statistics sends us a message doesnt it? Well what the hell, them blacks do more to kill each other than whites ever did to them? To me that in and of itself is racial baiting and a very **** poor excuse and talk about fueling the flames of racism???? It speaks volumes.

Z had black friends, dated black women, tutored black kids...he is not a racist.
He profiled him based on his clothes and actions.

The outrage started when media and others thought he was white. Most black on white crime and black on black crime goes really unnoticed. You never hear from the NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson or Obama when a white guy is killed. But you do when a black guy is killed by a "white-hispanic". They are race baiters and fuel the flames of racism.

I think you would find the outrage present in the media had those killers not been prosecuted for their crime.

We could go back and forth about this all day, but I think what you may be saying is that no one cries foul when black people kill white people but everyone is up in arms (so to speak) when white people kill black people.
That may be true for some people but most black crime is within the black community and that is a different can of worms I will not open today.

The key point here is that Z (who may or may not be racist, who knows?) was racial profiling when he stalked trayvon and he killed him, though I doubt it had been his intent. The outrage is the fact that there are no leagl consequences for his behavior.
I will also be dismayed if the black woman who killed the white guy at the gas station gets off . She did not appear to be in imminent danger. It is not only about race.

No outrage though, eh?  Where is the fairness in the media?  If this were a white man killing 4 black men, it would be on the news... the guy would be labeled a psychopath, cold blooded murderer.... None of that here.  That kind of bothers me.

Another thing--- those 4 thugs will *not* be getting off scot free (even if one of them was trying to get the others not to do the crime, he will be fully prosecuted) And they should be locked up for good if indeed they are guilty.

I'd argue that these individuals were about near the end of the line when it comes to responsible gun owners.  I'd further bet that the gun was not obtained by legal means.

But to kill the guy?  If robbery was the motive, couldn't the group of these guys just robbed him without shooting him?  They could have but chose not to.
